To add "Nearby Printers"
With Mac OS X v10.6 you can quickly add a "Nearby Printer"--a nearby printer is a printer connected to the USB port on a Time Capsule or AirPort base station, a network capable printer that supports Bonjour, or a printer being shared by another Mac. Snow Leopard uses Bonjour technology to find nearby printers.
To add a Nearby Printer, all you have to do is select the Nearby printer you want from the "Printer:" pop-up menu:Snow Leopard will automatically create the Print Queue.

Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers. If an additional or updated printer software is available, Software Update will offer it to you. If you do not see your printer listed in the "Print Using:" pop-up menu or a Generic printer driver is selected, then the printing software may not be available from Apple. For more information about supported printers see this article. You can also visit the printer vendor's website for printer software, or contact them for technical support.

Once the driver is set, click the "Add" button to create your Print Queue.

Fax - Used to add a queue for the Fax device connected to your Mac.

IP - Used to add your printer network printers that don't use Bonjour or are on a different network subnet from your computer. Printers that support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), Line Printer Daemon (LPD), and HP Jetdirect (Socket) can be added in this manner. See your printer's manual or support documentation for information about how to setup the printer to use an IP-based printing protocol.

Windows- Used to add your printer being shared via the Windows printer sharing protocol (CIFS). Tip: See Mac 101: File Sharing for details about how to add your Mac to a Windows Workgroup. This is often needed to see Windows printer shares.

Note: Any applications that are open before you add a printer will need to be quit and re-opened, in order to see all the features of the new printer.

If you have not previously installed your printer or you did an uninstall before downloading the new driver, you now need to add the printer using the new driver.

In Windows 7, click on Devices and Printers.

At the top of the window you will see Add a device and Add a printer

Click on Add a printer.

Choose either Add a local printer or Add network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.

Follow through the choices and if the install program is not able to find the dowloaded driver, point to the location where your driver was downloaded. If you did not make note of the location you could run a search or download a second time making sure you save the driver to a location you can remember. You can then say Have Disk when asked and then browse to the location you saved the printer driver on your computer

If you have the correct driver for your printer and operating system the printer should complete installation

Hi, Depending on what OS Operating System you have the instructions will vary. I will now give you the way to add your printer to Windows. Before we start I will tell you if you're maxing out your resources it is very difficult to add a printer without taking another off. That said. - 1- remove all other printers if there are any2- if there is any software with the new printer put the disk in and run that program. - 3- if you do not have a disk with your unit and your getting the message there is no driver - google the brand and model of printer and add the word driver - then select to find the driver on the suggested website and down load to your desktop. If you never did this - write down the name of the file you are downloading then SEARCH for the file name you write down. 4 open the file and run that program to add the driver to your pc. 5 - plug in the printer and turn it on.6- click on START -look for settings - then click ADD PRINTER or PRINTERS - open this and click add printer. Number 6 will vary depending on how you have you pc set up to show your programs and things - so if you can't seem to make that work just search ADD PRINTER and that should do it - if not - go to HELP and then search add printer.

If you have some follow up questions just come back here or email me at riceski@gmail.com Also there are tutorials on YOU TUBE that might help you - just go to YOU TUBE and search ADD PRINTER www.youtube.comI hope this helps you get your printer added please rate me - - thanks G
